Here it is! Please have a read and leave a comment if you can think of something to say! The more I contribute to the growth of Albatross Revue, the more likely I am to get paid for rambling about games. Also, I think it's a reasonably decent article. albatrossrevue.blogspot.com/2011/06/editorial-save-me.html

Lovely stuff, Sammy. Left a comment. You now have... one comment.

You would have two, but funnily enough given the computers are evil/saving topic, I've lost my post twice because you can't backspace to edit, instead you go back out without savign the post!
Coming soon!
Edit: There we go, now three!

Thanks gents. I appreciate it. I think I lose the plot a bit in the middle but I didn't want to rewrite it again. I'd already re-done it from scratch once. On a related note, there's sometimes a link at the side of Albatross for Frugal Gaming, which specialises in finding cheap game deals in the UK. Could be worth keeping an eye on that.

It might be worth pointing out, for our less-seasoned members (who am I trying to kid) that in Firefox at least you have to copy and paste Samilanach's link into your address bar for it to work. I've also left a mildly pedantic further post to hopefully stir up some debate and make you a zillionaire. I'd limit my claim to the traditional ten per cent, but then I remembered you'd be hiring ME so upped it to 25 oer cent. You're not my only client y'know...

Ah, sorry. I often post on forums that activiate links automatically if you post something that looks like a URL. I've also left a mildly pedantic further post to hopefully stir up some debate and make you a zillionaire. I noticed that! Unfortunately Steve isn't really an arguer. ;D Anyway, thank you gentlemen, apparently I have in total got more than double the average number of views another contributor gets! Pimping on every forum and social networking site I can think of works!

Another good read. Could use a few pics though.
The VB never made it to UK shops, did it?

Yeah, I intended to have some suitably blurry screenshots but forgot.
You're quite right, it never did. About four or five years ago I had one shipped from the US. I was curious and, at that point, had money to burn.

Won't happen. Bioware already has Ultima and Warhammer 40k. And they are getting ready to finish The Old Republic (the first MMO to really have a shot of wtfpwning Blizzard). I don't really see the point in coming out with another MMO at this point. However, I'm sure they'll expand on the ME universe in some way or another after ME3. The ME universe is just way too good to be finished with. Wouldn't mind seeing an official ME tabletop...

I just spent a ridiculous amount of time building myself a floating space station house in Fortresscraft.
I think the key to keeping yourself entertained with this 'game' is to give yourself a project. I decided to build a space station-style house, then decided it should be in the air (being a space station), then I felt it should also be a tower, then that the tower should have a conservatory on top, then that the conservatory should contain a roof garden...

The new ME trailer looks pretty nice - the combat isn't the main attraction for me, but it's looking good nonetheless.
The new Assassin's Creed one is pretty sweet too, but again, we don't learn much about the game.
The latest Batman one makes Mr Freeze look rather... cool?
But Deus Ex Human Revolution - it's a preorder for me anyway, but the Hacking & Social trailer looks like this is going to be nearer the first game than the second - which is awesome news.

Deus Ex arrived today. YEY!
Unfortunately Steam won't let me activate it, as it's 'not released yet'. Bastards!
That is all.
